And if you hope expect to get 1000s of $ for that tx, spending 33$ is not a bad investment (in your dreams).
I'd understand that if there's a few of them. But since someone is creating tens of millions of them, it doesn't make sense. It's not rare, it's not scarse, it's just BS.

I don't have a good overview / chart on how many are Ordinal related (is P2TR a good enough identifier? I don't know) and how many are just plain spam made by somebody who knows what is he doing (eg somebody related to mining).

But don't take me wrong, I do agree that those ordinals are useless garbage more related to some hopes of scamming the next one than anything of real use.
I also had my proposals to block them (as spam), but some said that Bitcoin network should not start censoring arbitrarily (which is also something I agree with). I have a feeling the truth is somewhere in between.
Afaik Bitcoin Knots (Luke-Jr's fork of Bitcoin Core?) already filters them. But I guess that it's "market share" is far too small to matter.
